The design world has been attending Maison & Objet for the last week. I’ve enjoyed following along on Instagram especially since it looks so much chicer than it did when I first attended in 2009. The booth that stood out this season is Paolo Moschino for Nicholas Haslam. The deep green walls, floral fabric, and […]

Breath of Fresh Air

01 . 09 . 18

I was trying to figure out the exact reason I love Cameron Kimber’s weekend home that I posted yesterday. I think it’s because it feels like spring when everything in New York is encased in snow and cold temperatures. I especially love the thread of green that weaves its way through the entire house. I’ve […]

Bear Hill Bathroom

11 . 10 . 17

I have yet to visit Savannah but I may have to book a trip soon. The Traditional Home Southern Style Now Showhouse just opened in the Hostess City of the South and I’m seeing lots of beautiful rooms on Instagram like this chic bathroom by Kevin Walsh of Bear Hill Interiors. I love the glamorous mix of […]

This year marks my 10th year covering the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. It’s always the highlight of the spring social season and I was just as excited to tour the house this year as I was in 2007. I ran into Honorary Chair Bunny Williams on my way out and she was just as excited […]

When I was in Miami for Art Basel in December 2014, my friend and I drove up to Bar Harbor. Along the way, we passed a huge construction site for the Surf Club. My friend who I was with actually remarked that he owned a book Surf Club about the old club by Assouline. Well, […]

Waiting for Spring

03 . 26 . 17

Spring has definitely not spring in New York. It’s grey and rainy and nothing has bloomed yet. Until it does, I’m making due by living vicariously through those I follow on Instagram. Some reside in London and Paris which is busting with color and others are decorating their homes and tables with beautiful blooms. Enjoy! @kerrybazaar […]

In our over-connected online world, I’m always surprised when I come across a person, or two people in this case, from the past of whom I’ve never heard before. Such was the case of Boni de Castellane & Anna Gould sale at Christies in Paris on Monday, 6 March 2017.  “Boniface de Castellane, known as ‘Boni’ […]

You may remember my recent feature on Kate Rheinstein Brodsky‘s store KRB last month. Now One Kings Lane has a lovely feature on her family apartment on the Upper East Side. I’ve also included a few photos from her cover feature from Elle Decor in 2015. The best thing about the OKL story is that you […]

Not everyone can afford to hire the famed French interior designer and architect Jean-Louis Deniot to decorate their home but now you can experience his chic design style at the Hotel Nolinski in Paris. The soothing shades of greens and greys mixed with gold create a perfect respite after a day of exploring the City of […]

According to Bourne Creative, green is… “the color of life, renewal, nature, and energy, is associated with meanings of growth, harmony, freshness, safety, fertility, and environment. Green is also traditionally associated with money, finances, banking, ambition, greed, jealousy, and wall street. The color green has healing power and is understood to be the most restful […]

A few weeks ago, I headed down to Birmingham, Alabama with Delta Faucet to tour the Southern Living Idea House for 2016. While the whole house was beautiful, the room that made the most impact was the gorgeous green kitchen and family room by local architect and interior designer Bill Ingram. It was inspired by a […]

Paris Meets Poland

07 . 11 . 16

When I first saw photos of this apartment, I thought it was in Paris. Turns out it is actually located in Warsaw and was gut renovated and designed by Marta Chrapka of Colombe Design for a French lawyer who was relocating to Poland. While the backdrop is neutral like a French apartment, there is a lot […]

The color that I kept seeing all over Italy during my fall 2015 trip was green. So it’s no wonder that Sawyer Berson‘s Italian inspired Petit Salon at the 2016 Kips Bay Decorator Show House is also green. It’s a nod to infinitely inspiring Villa Necchi in Milan which I also visited during my travels. The […]

Serena Fresson posted a beautifully set spring table on Instagram this morning which made me think it was the perfect time to highlight her chic style. Serena is the mother of Alice Naylor-Leyland who I recently featured in the post Alice in Wonderland. It’s clear that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in […]

Fustic House

03 . 22 . 16

While I was reading the Tory Burch Blog, I saw that they photographed their Spring/Summer 2016 Look Book at Fustic House in Barbados. The gorgeous 17th-century sugar plantation was renovated by designer Oliver Messel in the 1970’s and is now available to rent for a Caribbean holiday.  On first view, the exterior looks like a house you […]

While I’m in California today, my mind is on Italy. I’m taking over the Farrow & Ball Instagram account today to highlight all the green I saw in on my autumn trip to celebrate their nine new colours including my favorite Yeabridge Green. The Wes Anderson designed Bar Luce in the Fondazione Prada in Milan had […]

I cleaned out more stacks of magazines this weekend. This included the sacrilegious task of getting rid of old issues of World of Interiors.  If I had the room, I’d keep them forever but it’s much easier to refer to the back issues online where they take up no space in ones apartment. In the November […]
